Tirana - The Beginning (Day 1 & 2)

We landed in Tirana on a cold December afternoon, collected our rental car at the airport, and drove into a city that felt both unfamiliar and strangely welcoming. It was much more metropolitan than we had expected it to be - a sweet surprise to begin with!

Dinner that night was at a small Turkish diner. The adana kebabs were so authentic that they transported us back to Turkiye. So authentic!Image
Image
The next day, we wandered without hurry. Tirana is colourful, expressive. Its buildings are weirdly shaped and painted in bright hues, its strrets and cafรฉs bustling with Paris-like vibes!

We had reserved a table at a well-known Italian restaurant. The pizza was perfect, the raki homemade and strong, and the tiramisuโ€ฆ rightly said to be the best! The kind you wish would never end.Image

In my seventh data update, I look at the choice between borrowed money (debt) and owner funds (equity) that every business has to make, and how those choices played out in 2025, with a callout to the AI cap ex ramp up and private financing along the way. bit.ly/3ZO6Eha
I start with a differentiation of debt and equity that is built around the nature and priority of claims, but moves on to differences in tax treatment and role in management. bit.ly/3ZO6EhaImage
There are illusory reasons for borrowing money (it is cheaper, it increases and ROE) or for not borrowing at all (will lower net income, lower bond ratings), but that does not stop businesses from using them. bit.ly/3ZO6EhaImage

Iโ€™ve built and exited multiple companies, last one which I exited was 'Customer Helper Team LLC' which we sold for $70M back in 2022 to a public company.

If someone asked me how to build & exit a business the right way, here are 6 steps Iโ€™d focus on: Image
1. Build a real brand (not just a product)

If you donโ€™t have a clear identity + positioning, youโ€™re way harder to buy (and way easier to replace).

Brand = leverage.
2. Engineer revenue before you โ€œscaleโ€

Plug leaks + increase revenue per visitor/order: conversion rate optimization, AOV/LTV, retention.

This is how you make the business actually valuable.

The mysterious sculpture/fountain of a man eating children, made in the 16th century in Switzerland, is still leaving people shocked today.

They claim that the true meaning and purpose of the disturbing sculpture are unknown, but it's connected to hidden esoteric knowledge.

The name of the fountain is Kindlifresserbrunnen, and people are even splashing the fountain with red paint in protest, but they don't understand the meaning.

Here's a deep rabbit hole! (1/10)๐Ÿงต
The fountain sculpture of a man eating children in Switzerland, created by the Renaissance sculptor Hans Gieng, represents Saturn/Cronus and the Ages of Aquarius and Capricorn.

Many people don't understand the symbolism here and make a lot of assumptions, but this is connected to Saturnalia, Santa Claus, the Golden Age, and what they were expecting in the next upcoming Age โ€” which we are very close to entering today. (2/10)๐ŸงตImage
How do I know it's Saturn/Cronus? Let's start by pointing out the fact that below the sculpture there are angels and goats โ€” the goat represents the Age of Capricorn, which is ruled by Saturn/Cronus.

And the sculpture is essentially a fountain, which represents Aquarius โ€” the Water Bearer โ€” who is depicted as pouring water, like a fountain. Saturn is also the ruler of Aquarius in traditional astrology. (3/10)๐ŸงตImage

EXCLUSIVE: In my latest @RollingStone investigation, new documents/20+ sources reveal a controversial vaccine study's unusual path to @CDCgov approval, and irregularities in the only ethics review done, in Guinea-Bissau: /1rollingstone.com/politics/politโ€ฆ
The proposed trial, by a Danish research duo admired by @SecKennedy, came w/ intense pressure for approval from CDC director's office, say 7 current + former CDC employees. โ€œNone of our scientists would touch this with a 10-foot pole,โ€ a CDC employee says. /2
The trial planned to study potential harm from hep B vax birth dose. The proposal was not vetted by, or homed within, a CDC scientific center. Instead, it was routed straight from directorโ€™s office to grant management officials who approved it in 10 days. /3

Introducing: built-in git worktree support for Claude Code

Now, agents can run in parallel without interfering with one other. Each agent gets its own worktree and can work independently.

The Claude Code Desktop app has had built-in support for worktrees for a while, and now we're bringing it to CLI too.

Learn more about worktrees: git-scm.com/docs/git-worktโ€ฆImage
1/ Use claude --worktree for isolation

To run Claude Code in its own git worktree, just start it with the --worktree option. You can also name your worktree, or have Claude name it for you.

Use this to run multiple parallel Claude Code sessions in the same git repo, without the code edits clobbering each other.

You can also pass the --tmux flag to launch Claude in its own Tmux session.Image
2/ Use worktree mode in the Desktop app

If you prefer not to use terminal, head to the Code tab in the Claude Desktop app and โ˜‘๏ธ worktree mode

Tracking or Trafficking?

GATE, Gov Tracking, Joe Scarborough & his parents' Pageants, Disney, NCMEC, JonBenet Ramsey.

What began as additional #GATE & Project Monarch research quickly became a rabbit hole of morphing connections!

I'll begin with the catalyst for this thread and follow with each highlight that you can research.

#ChildTrafficking #EpsteinFiles #Disney #JonBenetRamsey #GATEImage
While further researching the #Gate topic and government tracking, I began looking into #Gate kids who were also in the "Who's Who Among American High School Students," which was a national yearbook of sorts that included high-performing Senior students and athletes from each state.

I was in it myself, after my entire childhood in public school from kindergarten to 12th included strange connections, especially with GATE and teachers.

Below are links to some of my #GATE threads:

"Who's Who" also included Pageant outreach and an ad for NCMEC (National Ctr for Missing and Exploited Children-IYKYK) was on the facing page. Images below.

I was bombarded with Pageant entry info my Sr year and I now know it was because I was in Who's Who, along with a possible recommendation from my former #GATE teacher turned Sr teacher.
[Ahem ๐Ÿ‘€]

Stay with me.
This gets wild.

Here are screenshots of Pageant ad and facing NCMEC ad in Who's Who:

The modern machinery is a centrifuge designed to spin the marrow from your bones and ship it to a ledger in London or Brussels. You were told the world is a global village, but you are living in a global plantation. The quiet hum of the factory has been replaced by the frantic clicking of high-frequency trades that build nothing and feed no one. Fear of liquidation of the American productive spirit by a class of men who view you as an overhead cost is real.Image
2/10
Alexander Hamilton did not design this nation to be a middleman for foreign empires. His architecture was built on the bedrock of physical reality. He understood that a nation without the means to clothe, arm, and feed itself is not a sovereign stateโ€”it is a client state. The system was designed to use the tariff as a shield, creating a protected space where the spark of human reason could transform raw nature into the infrastructure of a civilization.
3/10
The component that has been deliberately shattered is the barrier between our labor and the worldโ€™s exploitation. By dismantling the tariff, the architects of the last fifty years allowed the British model of free trade to flood our markets with the products of modern serfdom. When you lose the ability to protect your internal development, you lose your core capabilities. Agriculture and industry are not just sectors of an economy; they are the muscles of a free people.
